Fantastic news from @WorldRugby for the Fijian Drua and even better for fans of #SuperRugby.
Our boys have proved they belong in the Super Rugby circuit. I know I speak for every Fijian when I say it's time we get this effort over the try line!
Financing is critical.
The global community must fully support middle income countries and small island developing states #SIDS, where debt and climate change vulnerability are closely linked.

While speaking at the Regional #TradeFinancing Symposium, I recommended we as a region explore avenues to combine resources. One such avenue is establishing a Regional Trade Finance Institution or Pacific’s very own #EXIMBank to overcome trade financing challenges faced by #MSMEs

“To anyone who may think that Australia is too small to make a real difference, there are a number of small island states in your backyard that beg to differ..We’ll be watching major players like the US, China & Aus with bated breath." @FijiPM

For climate-vulnerable peoples from Tuvalu to Texas and everywhere in between — 1% is a gut-punch. For many of us, it will take a drop of 45% (or more) by 2030 to survive.
We need more drastic cuts from countries like the USA, China and Australia, and we need them now.

Fiji is making great headway in adapting globally-consistent health and safety protocols. Not only did our Care Fiji Commitment receive global recognition, our national airline has been awarded Diamond certification, the highest standard for travel safeguards in a COVID world.
What an honour to join Fiji’s 🇫🇯 Great friend Dep PM Sweden @IsabellaLovin 🇸🇪 in welcoming Presidential Envoy on Climate Change Sect John Kerry @ClimateEnvoy 🇺🇸 to the heart of climate and oceans action discussions. Together “we will turn the tide and get the job done” @cop26
Congratulations, @ABlinken. You're absolutely right: The world has changed, as has the climate. With the USA back on the side of science, we can not only achieve global net-zero emissions by 2050, but help vulnerable nations adapt now to the crisis already at our doorsteps.
.@antonioguterres Small states face three parallel pandemics - a health; a socio-economic and a climate pandemic. Coordinated global action is needed to stop these from morphing into a monster pandemic with catastrophic consequences. @UN matters like never before!
.@UNPeacebuilding 🙏🏽partners for their generous support;
✅the PBF can become a core instrument for responding to growing security consequences of climate crisis
✅ Ocean states of the Pacific look to the PBF for broader climate and security engagement. Vinaka @BobRae48
Glad to see a number of projects are progressing. The Lyndhurst Group’s multimillion-dollar #BusinessPark will be a catalyst in attracting international players in #BPO and #ICT sectors to our shores, as well as warehouse and housing co-working space for start-ups & #MSMEs
